Title: Monday Morning Quarterbacks: Concerns About McCain, Obama

" For the Monday morning quarterback started. You know you as always -- everybody former state attorney general now an attorney with Protsko. And former state treasurer Joe Malone is always good morning gentlemen when Ortiz no we have a lot to get too busy time of year of course let's get right into what one -- from -- election let's forget about the polls -- we know each -- you haven't got your backing in this presidential election. You still have to have some concerns about that guy so let's start with John McCain what worries you about a president McCain administration Joe he's -- got your back -- when we start."

" John McCain's philosophy is the right one more individual freedom less album that allow people -- all out war can risked and sacrificed to achieve their dreams don't be spreading it around as Obama says but the -- for McCain is. Get rid of a lot of those bush people been down there for too long. Eight years with -- boy shot as VP forty years -- president eight more years with young George. That's too long get rid of those bring people from from the hinterlands up to Washington an audit -- bring about better policies better execution."

" His biggest challenge will be that if he wins he has polarized. The entire country again in order to win. How do you ever bring people together after you've driven to the narrows based. Run a negative campaign. And don't stand for anything except you mark against the guy whose the content that's our biggest problem for McCain. The second issue I think. As we go through this is somebody's gotta have some pleasant with the economy to deal with foreign policy in different way John McCain does not have that."

" He absolutely has and then again it comes back this idea that he's spent his whole career and watch you watching saying you can knots. Spend more that you bring in as -- government you cannot live beyond them view means that's what every citizen has to do it's what every family has to do that's what government has to do."

" I would Barack Obama had problems like John McCain right and John McCain the meeting John McCain's staff meeting is the leading lobbyist in Washington and he is going to be captured by audience."

" Barack Obama's got all the people of Ireland and all its. Beer I had chance in order now going to flip that around -- On all I know you -- that's how you win at bare bottom Obama their second quarter question now at Scott's turn here. What we're wary about an Obama administration's got your big -- of Barack Obama if he were like that and -- a lot of positive things like about the guy but give me something that --"

" Where you little. Barack Obama has run an amazing campaign. For twenty months came out of nowhere ran against the leaders of the Democratic Party that Clinton's he ran against Washington against the power brokers. He's got a win. Now it comes to Washington with a new opportunities. His biggest problems going to be the leaders of the Democratic Party in the congress it's the same issues Deval Patrick faced on Beacon Hill. -- it take on it and leave people who think -- titled don't forget the Senate jarred me that. House. House -- presence in Washington. The leaders of the committee that you think they won this election Barack Obama won it the question is will they let him govern well then let it reach out to Republicans. To bring unity together -- let him fulfill the hope. The future that he stands -- that's my biggest in the special interest in Washington will fight to stop Iraq from being."

" The president but he told the American people want to -- I agree with you Scott and if you look at beacon really absolutely have the same situation where the speaker of the house. The Senate president the governor are all one party -- you'll have Pelosi Donna Washington you have read heading up the Senate Washington you have Obama if he's elected in the White House. Look out America grab your wallet because you're gonna end up when."

" Bigger bigger I don't that's the wrong higher and higher tax and it got the wrong concern concern is ICE is actually have one party right now. Then the Democrats got nowhere to hide. And and that's one of the benefits here but it means the president actually not congress. Equipment are going to do you -- a quick what did you go ahead against site of one of the battleground states is New Hampshire where they say live free or die they going to change their motto if they vote for Obama because it is going to be such intrusive government in this -- spread it around attitude toward earth art art to what that was all about. The recorder now let's bring closer army guys that's -- will be at all kinds of ethical issues on Beacon Hill an investigation of this -- house you know about you know but that -- percent among others under suspicion of wrongdoing. The governor wants to start an ethics task force which Scott you've been asked to be part of that something you're gonna do. And why are we seeing so many issues these days with legislators is this going on on all along Scott we're just now hearing about it or is this just arrest recently for whatever reason."

" I personally get the governor credit for standing up and putting himself on the line. Okay see as governor is going to try to deal with a quote. Culture of corruption issues of loss of confidence people leadership and be in jail for many many reasons. I believe there's answered this we've supported for years. Public make elections public financing which would ensure contested races. Senator Republican or Democrat a contested races it was defeated by speaker Finneran. The leader of the House of Representatives. The state ethics commission needs to be Independent and strong each time they've tried to act. They had their subpoena power and their budgets have been he wrote about the legislature. So the problem here is Heidi gets strong Independent leadership on Beacon -- strong ethics reform. And strong campaign finance reform I hope the governor will stay. His future on the."

" We epic. Ethics commission we have an ethics committee now going to have an ethics task force we have a state -- by the -- I want his guys -- was convicted of crime last week you have the attorney general is not a lack of all of these oversight bodies you know what it is it's a one party system and we can thank the Boston Globe for that because every time a Republican comes -- puts his hat in the -- they destroy the person -- eviscerate the person so folks. Global Republican wherever there's a Republican on the ballot. Jeff Beatty vote and only which is -- problem is. Right yeah not Republican Deborah we've had Republican governor Joe for sixteen years and at the same problem politically that we provide that that task force that -- of the if asked I would I would love deserves and I will serve -- we get a move on -- guys fourth quarter here the three ballot questions. I think he's going to turn out come Wednesday morning we're talking about this again get -- want to repeal stating compacts question to -- criminalizing marijuana. And question three the band of dog racing in the commonwealth -- go ahead I think you may see shocker with question one because people are Fed up with the stuff we just talked about if Fed up with the higher and higher taxes and -- kind of overrides are -- at the local level was the one place where they can say I'm not the government. Terms of the marijuana -- Bill -- going to do -- make it easier. From for drug dealers if you end up passing this bill because they're going to be able I have more consumers out there that people won't be afraid of being busted for marijuana. Number three with the dog tracks if Michael Vick has to take a hit because he's abusing dogs than a dog tracks ought to do what -- abusing dogs let me go back --"

" Question -- agreement joke completely this is not you use of Hussein earlier if you think that -- liquor licenses disability pension for problem imaginable we have casinos in this state what that -- money would be flown back at what legislature so question three -- I agree with him completely question do I think it sends the wrong message to block near -- if we do in sentencing reform. But when -- comprehensively not this kind of thing. Which actually only affects urban kids and and you look at opposition from urban ministers and others on this issue question one. I say vote no because it's the ball what you cut off your nose to spite your face to send this message this is our government. And we need to support it. We need to change the leadership we need to hold them accountable but do not do this by voting yes on question one is the wrong solution to a serious problem."

" In this could be close vote -- I think it will be I think there's a whole lot of people out -- or silently going to go to the polls and voted favored. Away a lot of the power of the people aren't you you know excellent could be the surprise here it's unfortunate but it's only people the only dissent and that's right well -- your analysis throughout this has been fantastic. Coming up on Wednesday were going to get back together Wednesday morning. And yet worn out based on -- the I had all we -- maybe you -- been fantastic Atlanta shorten the game coming -- went -- with post election analysis from the Monday morning quarterback Wednesday morning."
